Download an app to keep you on track

Have peace of mind with the planning and progress right at your fingertips. Below are two wedding planning apps recommended by former brides to help keep you on track:

Wedding Wire App – features of app include check-list and reminders of upcoming tasks, vendor management and tips and ideas from wedding experts.

The Knot Wedding Planner App – features of app include style quiz to help define your vision, vendor and registry management and day-of-timeline creation.

Make Google your new best friend

Google’s Suite includes several helpful and free organizational features. Using Google Docs to create spreadsheets can be used to track almost any logistic, including budget, addresses, RSVPs, and gifts.

Another tip that came from our brides was creating a separate e-mail address for all wedding related information and correspondences. This makes it easy to track communications without disrupting your personal inbox. You can also create e-mail folders per category, such as contracts, vendor information and bridal party communications.
